Schematic of the rapid ILs-polishing process for directly fabricating the nanostructured transparent paper from a regular paper. (a) Regular paper. The insert in the bottom left corner is a SEM image of the regular paper. (b) The ideal structure of single cellulose fiber. The insert in the bottom right corner is a magnified idealdiagram of cellulose nanofibers distributing along the cross section of a single cellulose fiber. (c) The various invading pathways of ILs in the P, L layers on the cell wall. The S Layer indicates the invading channel for ILs in disordered S region, while the P1, P2, P3 indicates respectively the invading channel for ILs exiting in the ordered region of gaps microfibrils, amorphous and elementary fibrils. (d) The invading models of ILs in fibrous cellulose matrix under a hot pressing process. (e) Formation of cellulose nanofibers and its nanowelding process. (f) Digital picture of the nanostructured paper.
